Tulip mania or tulipomania was a period in the Dutch Golden Age during which contract prices for bulbs of the recently introduced tulip reached extraordinarily high levels and then suddenly collapsed. At the peak of tulip mania in February 1637, tulip contracts sold for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsman. It is generally considered the first recorded speculative bubble (or economic bubble). The term "tulip mania" is now often used metaphorically to refer to any large economic bubble (when asset prices deviate from intrinsic values).
The event was popularized in 1841 by the book Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, written by British journalist Charles Mackay. (From Wikipedia)

This is me taking a picture of myself to demonstrate the depth of understanding that I have with photography. It was taken at La Conner High School on September 21 2015.
In this particular picture I manipulated it with the many effects on the iPhoto program. First I started with the antique effect and then added a vignette to it. Then added a little blur and boost to make the photo a little more dramatic. Last, I adjusted the contrast, definition, highlights, shadows, sharpness, temp, and tint to my liking.
